Exogamy is the practice of marrying outside one's social group or within a group that is not closely related by blood. In this scenario, Martha and Daniel's families traditionally do not marry within their own group or with relatives. Therefore, Martha and Daniel's decision to marry each other goes against the traditional exogamous practice followed by their families.
Homogamy refers to the practice of marrying someone who is similar to oneself in terms of characteristics such as age, education, religion, and socio-economic status. Polygamy is the practice of having multiple spouses. Trigamy is a term that refers to being married three times. Bigamy is the act of marrying someone while still being legally married to another person. None of these terms accurately describe the marital practice being referred to in the scenario presented.
